The pageant was first held in 2013 and most recently took place in 2022 in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The competition has positioned itself as a platform that connects cultures and promotes global awareness of heritage preservation.<\/p>\n

The 2026 edition will be the seventh season of the pageant and notably the first time it is staged in Asia. <\/p>\n

The event has received official approval from the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and is scheduled to run from August 7 to August 13, with activities hosted in Da Nang and Hue, central Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Over 40 beauties from countries and territories from around the world will participate in the competition. <\/p>\n

The grand finale is set to take place on August 12 in Da Nang City.<\/p>\n

Throughout the competition, contestants will engage in a series of cultural and tourism experiences in two of Vietnam\u2019s culturally rich destinations. <\/p>\n

They will visit and explore iconic landmarks such as the Dragon Bridge, the Cham Museum, and the Complex of Hue Monuments.<\/p>\n

Also, contestants will join community-driven programs, including charity initiatives, cultural promotion events, and friendly running, contributing to spreading positive messages about responsible lifestyles and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

The Miss Heritage Global 2026 will be highlighted by a traditional Vietnamese ao dai segment.<\/p>\n

Other competition segments include national costume, sportswear, and evening gown presentations, culminating in the selection of the top five finalists who will advance to the final question-and-answer round.<\/p>\n

Details regarding Vietnam\u2019s official representative, the judging panel, and the crown for the 2026 winner are expected to be announced in the coming months.<\/p>\n
